Directions
Preheat grill to medium. (No grill? See Broiler Variation, below.)
To prepare dipping sauce, combine orange zest, orange juice, water, honey, 1 tablespoon vinegar, ¼ teaspoon salt and coriander in a small saucepan; bring to a boil.
Whisk cornstarch and the remaining 1 teaspoon vinegar in a small bowl until smooth.
Add to the saucepan and return to a boil, whisking until thickened, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Remove from the heat. Stir in mint.
Sprinkle drumsticks with the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper. Oil the grill rack (see Tip).
Grill the drumsticks until crispy on all sides and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F, about 15 minutes total.
Serve the drumsticks with the dipping sauce on the side.
Broiler variation:
Position oven rack in the upper third of the oven; preheat broiler to high.
Prepare sauce.
Coat a broiler pan with cooking spray.
Sprinkle drumsticks with salt and pepper, then broil, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F, about 15 minutes total.
